In 1987 Oxford University Press commissioned Geoffrey Alderman to
write a history of the Jews of the United Kingdom since
emancipation effectively the story of British Jewry since the
mid-nineteenth century. The volume (published in 1992) was
conceived as a sequel to the History of the Jews in England which,
written by the late Dr Cecil Roth, was first published in 1941, and
which had virtually ended with the granting of full political
equality in 1858. This work of which a second edition was published
in 1998 - is designed to take the story forward, but also to avoid
some of the limitations that had characterised the Roth volume,
especially its preoccupation with what the author called, in 1992,
public relations history, its superficial treatment of certain
topics then perceived as sensitive (such as the anti-Jewish
prejudice that had accompanied the great immigration of Jews from
eastern Europe at the end of the 19th century) and its reluctance
to address what we would call nowadays contemporary history. The
text of this volume is based, on the 1998 history bringing that up
to date. The opportunity has been taken to correct some errors, and
to expand the narrative and its attendant footnotes to take account
of recent research. The final chapter is substantially an original
essay, based to some extent on materials made available on a
non-attributable basis.
